No, picking up children from an ex-spouse's house is NOT "driving necessary to maintain livelihood," except in the very ususual case where you are employed for the purpose of picking of the children, or it is part of your job--e.g. if actually worked for the ex-wife, and part of your job (as, say, her assistant) is to pick up and drive the children around. In that case, you migh be able to make the argument that it is "driving necessary to maintain livelihood, but not otherwise.
